Under Lin Qiao’s order, the female zombie and two male zombies moved toward her, reaching their hands toward the bowl together.
“Oi, wait, wait!” Lin Qiao hurriedly stopped them. Then, she cleaned their hands with the towel one after another; throwing the towel into the bowl, she waved at Xie Dong. The latter carried the bowl of water away, but didn’t leave.
Lin Qiao waved at the three zombies, “Step back and stand still.”
The three zombies made a few steps backward and moved slightly away from each other. After that, Lin Qiao walked up to the level-three zombie and reached out, grasping his clean hand.
The level-three zombie was terribly frightened. He couldn’t help but look at Lin Qiao in panic as he uttered a roar, “Roar!”
Lin Qiao gave him a glance. She didn’t say anything, but raised the zombie’s hand, lowered her head, and gave the zombie a bite.
“Er…” The level-three zombie froze, staring at Lin Qiao. His eyes were filled with fear.
Lin Qiao’s teeth penetrated his skin. Three seconds later, she finally relaxed her bite.
“Pah! Salty!” Lin Qiao tilted her head and spat before murmuring. In fact, she tasted no flavor at all. The salty taste was all in her mind.
She took a few steps backward, observing the level-three zombie. The zombie froze for a second, then bent over and began twitching. Next, he fell to the ground and curled up.
“Roarrrr….errrr…” The zombie instinctively roared in pain, twitching on the ground.
Seeing that, the other two zombies were all frightened. They abruptly stepped backward, then turned and attempted to run.
“Oi,” Lin Qiao turned and looked at them, her eyes glowing with a cold light. A snort escaped her throat. Hearing that, the level-four zombie and the level-five zombie didn’t dare to move anymore, but stiffly stood there.
As those two stood still without daring to move, Lin Qiao turned and kept observing the level-three zombie.
“Roarrrr…” The level-three zombie seemed to be in a great pain. After spending a while twitching on the ground, it started rolling. It wasn’t able to control its own body.
Normally speaking, zombies could not feel pain. However, that level-three zombie seemed to be a great pain at the moment. His roars had been delivering clear emotions.
Lin Qiao recalled that Xiao-Xiao had screamed after being bitten by her as well. It seemed that her virus would bring zombies a pain when invading their bodies.
Apart from the two frightened zombies, Lin Kui, Xie Dong, and Lu Tianyi had all been quietly looking at the level-three zombie who was rolling on the ground.
Pesticide was also frightened. As the level-three zombie fell to the ground, he sprung up with fear and ran straight behind the house. Hearing the level-three zombie’s screams, all the zombies behind the house had shrunk to the small spaces with fright as well.
The level-three zombie’s screams didn’t only scare the other zombies, but also startled the people in the house.
Leng Xuantong ran out of his room over to the balcony to look down, while Xiao-Xiao hid under her bed.
Bao Xiaoying looked at Bao Xiaoguo with surprise. She recognized that roar as a zombie roar. How could a zombie roar be heard in here? Was there a zombie crowd nearby?
Bao Xiaoguo didn’t have an answer either. However, thinking about the female zombie who was bitten by the mysterious lady earlier, he had a guess, without fully understanding what exactly was going on.
As same as before, he had all sorts of questions in his head.
After a couple of minutes of rolling and roaring, the level-three zombie’s voice started weakening. He stopped rolling, but remained in one weird position and kept twitching.
Lin Qiao and the others quietly stood aside and watched him. As the level-three zombie finally stopped twitching, she looked at the time and found that about half an hour had passed. As same as what happened to Xiao-Xiao, it took half an hour for that zombie to quiet down.
She couldn’t tell when the zombie would walk up. It seemed that her virus was strong enough to deliver the same effect to different level zombies.
Lin Qiao walked to the level-three zombie and squatted to observe him. She found that her virus had mostly occupied his entire body.
Xiao-Xiao woke up after she stopped shaking. However, Lin Qiao couldn’t tell if this one could wake up so quickly as well.
She had already sensed the subordinative connection from the level-three zombie, like what she had sensed from Xiao-Xiao earlier.
At the moment, people were all staring at the level-three zombie expectantly. The zombie didn’t disappoint them, and woke up very soon.
He opened his eyes and sat up confusedly, his eyes fixed on one spot, as if he didn’t know how to roll his eyeballs. He spent a few seconds sitting there in a daze, then suddenly started looking around, seeming to be searching for something. At last, he turned his eyes to Lin Qiao.
‘This is exactly like I thought.’ Lin Qiao blinked.
The moment the zombie saw Lin Qiao, his eyes started brightening. He stood up from the ground and looked around, then confusedly looked at his hands.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Lin Qiao, then at the others. After that, he opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, “Er… roar?”
‘I didn’t die?’ He asked.
Lin Qiao nodded and said, “No, you didn’t die.’
He didn’t die, and he seemed to have become smarter than before. However, his level didn’t go straight up.
The level-three zombie looked at Lin Qiao with confusion, seeming to be curious about everything.
Lin Qiao looked at him from head to toe, asking, “Do you know who you are? Have you remembered anything?”
The level-three zombie gawked at her for a few seconds, then shook his head.
After that, Lin Qiao turned to Lu Tianyi and said, “Bring us the meat.”
Lu Tianyi was carrying a tray. Contained in the tray were a few pieces of roe deer meat. He walked to Lin Qiao and handed her the tray.
Lin Qiao picked up a palm-sized piece of meat, then waved at the level-three zombie, “Come here.”
The zombie came to her, then looked at the meat with confusion.
Lin Qiao handed the meat to him and said, “Eat it!”
The zombie obediently took over the meat, and couldn’t help but raise his eyes to give her a glance. After that, he put the meat under his nose and sniffed at it. After confirming that the meat didn’t smell awful, he took a bite of it.
Before putting the meat into his mouth, the zombie didn’t know why Lin Qiao told him to eat it. Instinctively, he felt that the meat wasn’t a normal food for zombie. It didn’t have a nice scent. Why did the zombie boss want him to eat it?
However, as he took a bite of the meat, he found that it didn’t taste bad.
Eh? Why didn’t it taste bad?
His instinct told him that it didn’t seem right, but the zombie couldn’t figure out exactly why.
Lin Qiao walked to Xie Dong, then picked up the towel and wiped her hand. After that, turned to the level-three zombie to observe his reaction. The zombie finished the piece of meat with a weird look on his face.
